That's expected behaviour: the keepalive directive specifies the 
number of connections to cache, not the limit on the number of 
connections to the upstream server.  With many simultaneous 
requests nginx will open additional connections as needed.

You cannot, pipelining is not supported by the proxy module.

If the goal is not pipelining but to limit the number of 
connections to upstream servers, the "server ... max_conns=..." and 
the "queue" directive as available in nginx-plus might be what you 
want, see here:

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#max_conns
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#queue

Note well that such questions do not look like something related 
to nginx development.  A better mailing list for user-level 
question would be ng...@nginx.org, see here:

http://nginx.org/en/support.html

Hope this helps.
